Tree Service in Lansdale & North Wales, PA — Montgomery County’s Local Crew
Lansdale and North Wales are filled with aging postwar trees that have outgrown their space — and borough streets where power line conflicts are the norm. Oscar’s works across the North Penn area and knows the Montgomery County landscape. Fully insured, free estimates, no runaround.
Lansdale’s Postwar Trees Are Reaching the End of Their Lifespan — We Handle What Comes Next
Lansdale Borough and the surrounding North Penn area sit squarely in Montgomery County — a different regulatory environment than our Bucks County pages, with its own permitting processes and utility providers. We operate in both counties and know how to navigate the differences, so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
What defines tree work in Lansdale is the age of the stock. The postwar building boom of the 1950s and early 1960s produced neighborhoods all along Whites Road, North Wales Road, and the side streets off Main Street where homeowners planted maples, oaks, and silver maples that are now 60 to 70 years old. Many of these trees have outgrown their space, developed structural defects, or died out from the top down. They’re large, they’re close to houses and fences, and they require proper rigging and equipment — not just a chainsaw crew.
North Wales Borough brings a slightly different mix: some older in-town lots, newer developments off Montgomery Avenue, and properties that back up to the Wissahickon Creek watershed where drainage and root impact near waterways is a real consideration. Stony Creek Park and the surrounding green corridors also mean we sometimes work in areas where debris management and access routes require extra planning. We’ve done this work throughout the area and come prepared.
Tree & Stone Services for Lansdale & North Wales
Every job is performed by our own trained crew — no subcontractors, no day laborers. We bring the right equipment, get the job done safely, and leave the property clean.
Tree Removal
Complete removal of dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees. We work in tight borough lots and handle large postwar-era specimens that require sectional rigging and bucket truck access on Lansdale’s narrow streets.
Learn More →Tree Trimming & Pruning
Crown reduction, deadwood removal, and clearance cuts to keep your trees safe and healthy. Particularly important in Lansdale’s older neighborhoods where overgrown canopies crowd rooflines, gutters, and neighboring properties.
Learn More →Stump Grinding
Full stump removal below grade so you can reclaim lawn, plant new landscaping, or install hardscape. We clean up the grindings and leave the area ready for whatever comes next.
Learn More →Utility Line Clearance
Coordination and clearance work for trees growing into PECO distribution lines. We assess contact points, work within safe distances, and coordinate with PECO when de-energization or line coverage is required before work can proceed.
Learn More →Storm Damage & Emergency
24/7 emergency response for fallen trees, split limbs, and storm damage across Lansdale, North Wales, and the broader North Penn area. We prioritize calls where structures or utilities are at risk.
Learn More →Lot & Brush Clearing
Clearing overgrown lots, neglected hedgerows, and invasive vegetation on residential and commercial properties. Common in transitional areas between the older Lansdale Borough core and newer North Wales developments.
Learn More →Forestry Mulching
Single-machine clearing that grinds trees, brush, and undergrowth in place. Efficient for larger lots or commercial parcels in the Montgomeryville corridor where hauling debris offsite isn’t practical.
Learn More →Stone Veneer
Natural and manufactured stone veneer for home exteriors, fireplaces, retaining walls, and feature walls. A natural complement to the mature landscaping on established North Penn area properties. Backed by our 10-year written warranty.
Learn More →Tree Risk Assessment
On-site evaluation of trees showing signs of structural decline, root damage, or disease. Especially valuable for large postwar maples and oaks in Lansdale where the cost of doing nothing can far exceed the cost of early intervention.

We’re not a franchise operation. Oscar’s is family-owned and based in Dublin, PA — and we’ve been doing real tree work in real Montgomery County neighborhoods long enough to know the difference between a licensed, insured crew and everyone else.
Montgomery County Experience
Montgomery County has its own permitting landscape, municipal ordinances, and utility provider in PECO — all distinct from Bucks County. We work on both sides of the county line and handle the regulatory side for you so there are no surprises.
Fast Access via Route 309 & Sumneytown Pike
Our Dublin base puts us on Route 309 or Sumneytown Pike and into Lansdale or North Wales quickly. For emergencies and same-day estimates, that travel time matters. We’re not a city crew making a 90-minute drive for a 30-minute estimate.
PECO Utility Line Coordination
Trees in contact with PECO lines require a specific process that many crews simply aren’t set up to handle. We know how to work safely in proximity to energized distribution lines and coordinate with PECO when the job requires it — no guesswork, no shortcuts.
Built for North Penn Area Properties
Borough lots, semi-detached homes, tight rear yards, aging trees — this is what the North Penn area looks like and it’s what we work in every week. We bring equipment sized for these constraints and crews that know how to work efficiently in close quarters.

Lansdale Tree Service FAQ
Yes, and it matters. Montgomery County municipalities each set their own tree ordinances, and Lansdale Borough has specific requirements that differ from what you may have encountered in Bucks County. Lansdale Borough generally requires a permit for removal of street trees or trees within the right-of-way, and some properties near Stony Creek or in designated conservation corridors may face additional review. North Wales Borough has its own separate ordinance. We work in Montgomery County regularly and will walk you through exactly what applies to your property during your free estimate.
This is one of the most common jobs we handle in Lansdale and North Wales. Postwar neighborhoods here are full of oaks, silver maples, and Norway maples that were planted as saplings in the 1950s and 1960s and are now 60 to 80 feet tall with root systems that extend across the entire lot. Removing them safely requires sectional rigging, a bucket truck for upper canopy work, and sometimes a crane when access is tight. We do this routinely in the borough. The size of the tree is not a problem — we price the job fairly based on what it actually takes.
PECO serves Lansdale and most of Montgomery County, and the process for utility-adjacent tree work is different here than in areas served by PPL. For trees that are in direct contact with PECO distribution lines, PECO has its own line-clearance program and may need to de-energize or cover the lines before we can work safely. We coordinate with PECO on these situations regularly. For trees near — but not contacting — the lines, we can often work with an appropriate safety buffer without utility involvement. We will assess the situation at your estimate and tell you exactly what the process will be.
Lansdale and North Wales lots tend to be modest in size — typically quarter-acre or smaller — which often means tight rear-yard access and trees close to structures, fences, or neighboring properties. For a mid-sized tree in the 30 to 50 foot range on a typical borough lot, most jobs fall between $800 and $2,200. Larger postwar-era trees over 60 feet, or removals requiring crane work or special rigging around structures, can run higher. Stump grinding is typically $150 to $350 depending on diameter.
